The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008 IntroductionA Satanist Temple or group can be formed for three reasons: 1) to practice authenticSatanism; 2) to experience the reality of Sinister Magick; and 3) as a task of the Ex-ternal Adept. This part of the 'Black Book' applies to all three: those who have not asyet been Initiated by an established traditional Satanist Temple but who wish to beginpractical Satanism for whatever personal reason, should undertake the ritual of Self-Initiation given in chapter XI, then put into practice the advice given in chapter XIIabout organising and running a practical group.If you undertake the self-Initiation, you should as soon as possible find an individualof the opposite sex who is interested in Black Magick. You can then Initiate this per-son, using the ritual of Initiation in Part One as your guide. You should find some-where suitable to use as a Temple and dedicate this according to the Dedication inPart One.You should then give your Temple a suitable Sinister name (such as The Temple ofSatan) and begin to recruit members, your companion acting as Priestess/Priest and/orMistress/Master. The gifts and joys of Satan will then be yours to enjoy.However, should you wish to go further and begin the sevenfold sinister way, youshould obtain a copy of 'Naos' and begin to undertake hermetic and internal magick,continuing with your running your Temple until and if you decide to undertake theGrade Ritual of Internal Adept. The choice is yours. 54

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008 XIV - Self-InitiationTwo rituals will be given - one for an indoor location, and one for an outdoor one.Choose the one you feel is most suitable for you.I - IndoorSet aside an area for the performance of the ritual and in this erect an altarand cover it with a black cloth. (The altar may be a table,). Obtain someblack candles, some candleholders, some hazel incense, a quartz crystalor crystals. You will also need two small squares of parchment (or expen-sive woven paper), a quill type pen, a sharp knife, some sea salt, a hand-ful of graveyard earth (obtained on a night of the new moon) and a chal-ice which you should fil1 with wine. All of these items should be placedon the altar.Should you wish, you may also obtain a black robe of suitable design. Ifnot, you should dress all in black for the ritual.An hour before sunset, enter your Temple area, face east and chant theSanctus Satanas twice. Then say, loudly,To you, Satan, Prince of Darkness and Lord of theEarth,I dedicate this Temple: let it become, like my body,A vessel for your power and an expression of yourglory!Then vibrate 'Agios o Satanas' nine times. After this, take up the salt andsprinkle it over the altar and around the room, saying:With this salt I seal the power of Satan in!Take the earth and cast it likewise, saying:With this earth I dedicate my Temple. Satanas - venire!Satanas venire! Agios 0 Baphomet! I am god imbuedwith your glory!Then light the candles on the altar, burn plentifu1 incense and leave theTemple. Take a bath, and then return to the Temple. 55

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008Once in the Temple, do the 'Sinister Blessing' (see Appendix), then facingthe altar, lightly prick your left forefinger with the knife. With the bloodand using the pen inscribe on one parchment the Occult name you havechosen (see Appendix III for some suggestions regarding names). On theother inscribe an inverted pentagram. Hold both parchments up to theEast saying:With my blood I dedicate the Temple of my life!Then turn counter sunwise three times, saying:I ...... (state the Occult name you have chosen) am hereto begin my sinister quest! Prince of Darkness, hear myoath! Baphomet, Mistress of Earth, hear me! Hear me,you Dark Gods waiting beyond the Abyss!Burn the parchments in the candles. (Note: it is often more practical to filla vessel with spirit and place the parchments in this and then set the spiritalight. However if you have chosen woven paper, this method will not benecessary.) As they burn, say:Satan, may your power mingle with mine as my bloodnow mingles with fire!Take up the chalice, raise it to the East, saying:With this drink I seal my oath. I am yours and shall doworks to the glory of your name!Drain the chalice, extinguish the candles and then depart from the Tem-ple. The Initiation is then complete. ***II - OutdoorFind a suitable outdoor area. It should be near a stream, lake or river. Theritual should be conducted on the night of the full moon at a time halfway between sunset and sunrise. 56

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008You will need: ambergris oil, black candles (in lanterns if possible), twosquares of parchment or woven paper, sharp knife or silver pen, quill-typepen, black robe or clothes. Chalice full of wine.Begin the ritual by bathing naked in the stream, lake or river. After, rubthe ambergris oil into the body, saying as you do 'Agios o Satanas'. Thenchange into the robe/clothes and proceed to where the candles etc havebeen lain out on the ground. Light the candles. Then facing East, conducta Satanic Blessing (see Appendix). After, chant the Sanctus Satanas.Then prick your left forefinger with the knife/pin and inscribe oneparchment with your chosen Occult name. Inscribe an inverted pentagramon the other. Hold both parchments up to the East, saying: 'With myblood I dedicate the Temple of my life.'Then turn counter sunwise and three times saying:'I ....... (state your Occult name) am here to begin mysinister quest. Prince of Darkness, hear me! Hear me,you Dark Gods waiting beyond the Abyss.'Burn the parchments in the candles. (If parchment, use the method givenin I above.) As they burn, say:'Satan, may your power mingle with mine as my bloodnow mingles with fire!'Take up the chalice and say:'With this drink I seal my oath. I am yours and shall doworks to the glory of your name.'Drain the chalice, extinguish the candles, collect all the items you haveused and depart from the area. The Initiation is then complete. 57

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008 XV - Organising and running Satanic TemplesOne of the purposes of the Temple is to perform ceremonial Satanic rituals on a regu-lar basis, and the following schedule is suggested:a) Once a month (at a new moon if possible) celebrate the Black Mass. This celebra- tion should be followed by a feast where food and wine prepared and/or brought to the Temple by the members is consumed, this feast itself following on after the orgy that concludes the Black Mass. Should you, as organiser of the Temple (and thus an honoury 'Master' or 'Mistress'- the organiser of a new Temple is generally known by the title of 'Choregos') wish, the feast only may conclude the Mass - it being left to your discretion as to when the orgy is to be included. That is, it is not always necessary to conclude the Mass with an orgy, although for obvious Satanic reasons, it forms a pleasing end to the Mass.b) Every fortnight, the members should assemble for a meeting (a sunedrion) where any member may request magickal aid for themselves or others. The aid may be of any kind - constructive, material, or destructive. Those wishing aid should write their requests on paper and seal this in an envelope which they place in a special urn/receptacle kept for this purpose near the entrance to the Temple. The members should assemble (in robes and barefoot) in the Temple, and the sunedrion is for- mally begun by you, the Choregos, saying 'Let the sunedrion begin'. If a member has been appointed Guardian (see the list of Offices at the end of the chapter) he should stand by the entrance to the Temple and refuse admittance to any members arriving late. Those present in the Temple then recite the Satanic Creed (see text of Black Mass).Following this, the Priestess then removes at random two of the requests, which shereads. The members who have been chosen thus, acknowledge their requests by bow-ing to the Priestess. The request first chosen by the Priestess is performed that eve-ning, the other at the next full moon. This means that you as Choreges should haveeverything in readiness for all possible hermetic and ceremonial rituals.The requests may be for anything a member wishes, and it is up to you to decide howthe request may be magickally fulfilled by choosing an appropriate ceremonial orhermetic ritual. The monthly Black Mass may be used as a vehicle, for example - youchoosing suitable chants/visualisations for the members desire.The member requesting help must offer something in return this is usually a financialdonation to the Temple, a ritua1 object for use in the Temple, robes for use of mem-bers, or their own body for the gratification of the Choregos or someone chosen by theChoregos. It is however, the member requesting magickal aid who decides on the na-ture of the gift.Those requests not chosen by the Priestess are considered by the Choregos after thesunedrion, and those considered suitable are undertaken as soon as possible, themembers being informed. 58

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008If you as Choregos choose a hermetic ritual for a request, then you either work aloneor with the member whose request it is - unless the ritual you choose is a hermeticone, when you work with the Priestess/Priest or the member if that member has of-fered their body as payment for the aid.After choosing the requests, the members depart from the Temple while you and thealtar brother/sister prepare the Temple for the ritual you have chosen to fit the firstrequest. During this preparation, the members should prepare themselves for the ritualif a ceremonial form has been chosen. Should a hermetic form be chosen, this is donein the Temple while the members feast and drink outside of the Temple.c) At full moon, an outdoor ritual should be conducted in a suitable location. This should be either a group invocation to the Dark Gods (see Chapter XVI) or an- other ceremonial ritual (for example, the Death Rite might be chosen because of a member's request).You can elect to hold the sunedrion some days before this, or combine the sunedrionwith this ritual, depending on the number of members, and their commitment. What isimportant is to establish a pattern of meetings and rituals.Teaching:Another purpose of the Temple should be teaching. You should try and arrange regu-lar sessions with interested members -the best time being after the sunedrion and itsassociated ritual (if any), the best length for the sessions being around three quartersof one hour. During these sessions you can explain about the Septenary system, theStar Game, the Satanic Tarot and so on. (All these and other topics of esoteric Satan-ism are covered in Naos.) Thus, you might organise the following programme to heheld on successive sessions:i) Introduction to the Septenary system - Tree of Wyrd, spheres, correspon- dences.ii) Further correspondences, including Tarot images associated with spheres.iii) Pathways and their 'demon-forms'. Invokation etc.iv) Hermetic ritualsv) Introduction to the Star Gamevi) The Satanist Tarot - divination etc.vii) Esoteric Chant - practice etc.viii) viii) Practice of playing the Star Game.Should you wish to follow the seven-fold sinister way yourself, you may set yourselfa suitable physical task, achieve this, then undertake the Grade Ritual of ExternalAdept. After this, you might begin to teach internal magick to others - getting them towork with the pathways and spheres etc. and setting them goals.Gaining Members:There are many ways of gaining members. For instance, you might infiltrate alreadyexisting groups (of either Left or Right Hand Paths) and seek out those interested inworking sinister magick. You might also try and interest friends or the friends of your 59

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008companion - using the bait of an 'orgy'. Whatever method you use, try and make yourfirst ritual dramatic and impressive - you may decide to use an established ritual likeBlack Mass, or you might try the ritual suggested below (First Ritual for a Choregos).The 'First Ritual' is intended mainly to impress those who may be new to magick.You should try and create before hand the right magickal atmosphere, making yourTemple as impressive as possible. Try and be creative - for example, a 'plasma ball' ina candle lit Temple is more impressive than a boring collection of old bones and askull. Also, do not use symbols and/or Occult designs which you yourself do notknow the meaning of. Keep to the symbolism of traditional Satanism - that is, theSeptenary, avoiding using the tired, old (and inauthentic) symbolism of the 'Qabala'.Do no not use any symbolism from old and dead Aeons - for example Egyptian, Sum-erian - as the more pure your magick is, the more effective it will be. By pure here ismeant following a genuine esoteric tradition like the Septenary. In the beginnings it isoften helpful if you feel part of a living, exclusive tradition such as the one repre-sented in this 'Black Book' and 'Naos'. This adds power and charisma to both you andyour magickal workings.First Ritual:It is important, before the ritual, for you to prepare those who will be attending. Theyshould be told that during the ritual they are to remain silent and not move. Theyshould be told no details of the ritual: only that it is a Satanic invokation, and theyshould not have seen the Temple before. To increase their expectation, you can ar-range to meet them some distance from the Temple itself. They are then blindfoldedand taken to the Temple, the ritual being begun immediately. (This also applies tonew members of an established Temple.)Both you and your companion (Priestess/Priest) and any others involved should havepractised your roles beforehand - being familiar with the words, gestures and so on. Aim: The aim of the ritual is to draw down magickal energy by basically her-metic means with a view to impressing the 'novices' who are present. Setting: Usually an indoor Temple. Black candles providing the only light. In-cense well (hazel) for hours before the ritual. Music from a suitably hidden systemshould be played during the ritual: choose something 'demonic' which starts slowlyand gradually builds to a climax. Participants: Choregos and companion (Priestess and Priest) The RiteThe congregation are led into the Temple. The Priestess (or Choregos if female)should wear sexually revealing Clothing. The music is started by the Choregos whowalks past the congregation staring at them and saying 'Agios 0 Satanas'.The Choregos and/or Priest then vibrates the 'Agios o Satanas' three times after whichthe Priestess kisses each member of the congregation, rubbing her hands over the 60

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008genitals of the men as she does so. Following this, the Choregos/priest declare the 'In-vokation to Baphomet' while the Priestess visualises sinister magickal energy beingdrawn down and entering the congregation.She then begins a slow, sensual dance to the music while the Choregos/Priest chantsthe Dies Irae followed by the Invokation to Baphomet. He continues to chant the'Agios o Satanas while the music builds to a climax. While chanting this he passesbehind the congregation, making passes in the air as he does so. The Priestess duringthe dance should continue with the visualisation.While still behind the congregation the Choregos/Priest says aloud: 'You are all His,now! We have words to bind your soul to us!'The Priestess ceases her dance, chants 'Agios o Satanas' and then extinguishes thecandles. She then visualises a sinister/ demonic form entering the Temple near the al-tar (this form may be one of the 'demons' on the Septenary paths - e.g. Shugara). Dur-ing this, the Choregos/Priest should chant the name of the chosen entity (e.g. 'Agios oShugara' Agios o Shugara!'). Do not expect at this stage a visual manifestation to oc-cur - although this might happen if the energies are pronounced and/or one of thecongregation is psychically gifted. The aim is to affect the sub-conscious of the con-gregation.After this, there should be silence for some minutes (the music having ended). ThePriestess then says 'It is over' and the Choregos/Priest leads the congregation from theTemple.Note: One of the best means is for the Choregos/Priest to use a tabor or small hand-drum to accompany the ritual and the dance, instead of recorded music.Temple Grades:Temple members can be appointed to the following positions: Guardian of the Tem-ple, Altar Brother (or Sister), Thurifer, Keeper of the Books.The Thurifer is responsible for keeping the Temple incensed during and before a rit-ual: this may be by either using a thurifer, or a static incense burner. The altarbrother/sister is responsible for ensuring the Temple is ready for a ritual: the candleslit, incense ready and so on. The Keeper of the Books is responsible for ensuring thesafety of the Black Book and other Temple books and manuscripts, as well as ensur-ing the Book and/or altar cards are in place in readiness for a ritual.In addition the Choregos can appoint any member to be a Priest or Priestess for eithera specific ritual or for a year and a day. A Priest, when officiating in Temple ritualswears a medallion inscribed with either an inverted pentagram or inverted septagon; aPriestess wears an amber necklace and may also opt to wear a silver ankle chain.The sign of a Choregos is, for men, a plain black ring worn on the left hand. Templemembers may wear, for men, a ring set with quartz and worn on the left hand, and, forwomen, quartz Necklace. 61

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008 XVI - Invokation to the Dark GodsTo open a Star Gate and return the Dark Gods to our causal universe a crystal tetrahe-dron made of quartz is required. This should be as large as possible - and made from anatural shape by a skilled operator.The rite of returning exists in two versions: the first is suitable for two or more indi-viduals and involves basic magick; the second requires detailed preparation and Can-tors trained to a high standard in esoteric chant. The second version is more powerful,but regular invocation using the first method has the same effect. IThe participants for the first version are Priestess and Priest, together with any num-ber of other Initiates provided male and female are present in equal numbers. The in-vokation can, however, take place without these Initiates - that is, with only thePriestess and Priest present.The rite begins on the night of the new moon with Saturn rising if only the Priest andPriestess are present, otherwise it is undertaken on the night of the full moon. The riteshould if possible be conducted on an isolated hill-top and the Priest and Priestessshould both be naked. The congregation should wear black robes. Candles in lanternsshould be placed to mark out a large circle on the ground.The invokation begins with the Priest vibrating seven times the phrase 'Nythrakthunae Atazoth' while the Priestess holds the tetrahedron in her hands, palms up-ward. When the vibration is complete the Priest places his hands on the tetrahedronand both vibrate 'Binan ath ga wath am' until the ritual is complete.After the vibration, the Priestess - still holding the crystal - should lie on the ground,her head North, the Priest arousing her with his tongue, The sexual union then begins,with both visualising the Star Gate opening and the primal form of Atazoth comingforth. Atazoth may be visualised as a dark nebulous chaos - a rend in the fabric ofstar-studded space which changes into a Dagon like/dragon entity.After her sexual climax, the Priestess buries the crystal within the earth of the hill.When this is done, she vibrates over the spot 'Aperiatur terra, et germinet CHAOS!'She then signals to the congregation who cease their chanting. All the participantsthen depart from the hill.Note: The tetrahedron should be well-buried in a spot prepared by the Priest andPriestess before the rite. If the invokation is done again, the rite begins with thePriestess unearthing the tetrahedron. It should be cleaned before the ritual begins - andmust be buried without any covering whatever. 62

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008 II.The second version involves at least eight people including Cantor (s) and Priest andPriestess. Male and female should be present in equal numbers. The rite takes placeon or around the autumnal equinox or winter solstice. The best place is an isolate iso-lated hilltop.According to tradition, the best time to invoke is when (autumn equinox) Venus setsafter the sun and the moon itself is very near the star Dabih; or when (winter solstice)Jupiter and Saturn are near the moon which is becoming new, the time before dawn.The first is associated with the 'Star Gate' Dabih, the second with Algol. The most ef-fective place magickally is a hill top of pre-Cambrian rock which lies between a lineof volcanic intrusion and one of another rock. The top of the hill should have a line ofpre-Cambrian grit passing through it - this description allowing the hallowed places,in this country, to be found.The crystal should be placed on a sheet of mica upon a pediment of oak. The rite be-gins with the Cantors vibrating in E minor 'Nythra kthunae Atazoth' while at least sixof the congregation dance moonrise around the crystal, Cantors, Priestess and Priest.This dance is slow and gradually increases in speed, the participants chanting 'Binanath ga wath am' as they dance.The Cantors vibrate their phrase seven times at the end of which the Priestess placesher hands on the tetrahedron. The Cantors (if there is only one, the Priest acts as acantor) then sing according to Esoteric Chant - that is, in fourths - the Diabolus. ThePriestess visualises the Star Gate opening.After the Diabolus, the Priestess and Priest vibrate 'Binan ath ga wath am' a fifth apart(or a fifth and an octave) while the Cantors vibrate the same phrase also a fifth apart.(If only one Cantor is present he vibrates Atazoth in E minor.) After this vibration andon a signal from the Priestess, the congregation begin an orgiastic rite, during whichthe Priestess continues with the visualisation and the Cantors with the 'Binan ...' chanta fifth apart. The Priest may visualise the orgiastic energy of the congregation into amagickal force which forces open the Star Gate, allowing the Dark Gods to return toEarth.The Priest and Priestess may then visualise the Chaotic energies as being dispersedover the Earth.However, if the ritual is undertaken correctly, the Dark Gods may become manifest.Should this occur, all the participants should exult.Note: This second version may be combined with the Ceremony of Recalling - andthe Sacrificial Conclusion undertaken according to tradition. The invocation to theDark Gods begins after the sacrifice with the Cantor vibrating 'Nythra ...' as abovewhile the Mistress anoints the participants with the Red Elixir. For this combined rit-ual, the Mistress in the 'Ceremony' assumes the role of 'Priestess' in the invocation:the Master that of the Priest. This combined ritual is rightly forbidden, for it is themost sinister ritual that exists, its performance actually calling back to Earth in physi-cal form the Dark Gods themselves. 63

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008 II - The Sinister Creed 1. Satan in particular and the Dark Gods in general are a means to self-fulfilment and self- understanding. 2. Only by journeying through the darkness within us and without can we attain self-divinity and thus fulfil the potentiality of our existence. 3. Our rites, ceremonies and practices are all life affirming, and show us the ecstasy of existence and the self-overcoming of the true Adept. 4. We are feared because we defy and seek to know and thus understand. We rejoice in living: in all its pleasures but most particularly in its possibili- ties. We thus extend the frontiers of evolution while others sleep or cry. 5. We detest all that enervates and would rather die than submit to anyone or anything - this pride is the pride of Satan, and Satan is a symbol of our defiance and a sign of our life-enhancing energy. Others see our way of living and our way of dy- ing and are afraid. 6. When we hate we hate openly and with arro- gance, and when we love, we love with a passion to match this arrogance: always mindful never to love anyone so much that we cannot see them die, for death is a natural changing of energies. 7. We prepare - through our magick and our ways of living - for the Age of Fire (the Aeon of the Dark Gods) which is to come, when we elitist few shall reach out toward the stars and the galaxies and the new challenges they will bring. 66

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008 8. Our way is difficult and dangerous and is for the few who can truly defy the matrix of illusions - of 'good' and 'evil' - that stifle the potentiality of our being. 9. What does not kill us, makes us stronger. 67

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008 III - Initiate Names a) Some suggestions, based on names traditionally used in sinister Temples: Male: Oger, Hacon, Serell, Noctulius, Athor, Engar, Aulwynd, Algar,Suevis, Angar, Wulsin, Gord, Ranulf Female: Sirida, Eulalia, Lianna, Aesoth, Richenda, Edonia, Annia,Liben, Estrild, Selannb) Contract and/or transpose your own name to form another; for exam- ple, 'Conrad Robury' gives Cabur, Nocra and so on.c) Find a demon form with whom you feel an affinity, and use that name, either as it is or contracted/transposed.d) Construct your name from a Satanic phrase or chant - for example, 'Quinvex' can be derived from the 'Quando Vindex' of the Diabolus.What is important about all the above is that you feel 'attracted' to a par-ticular name or phrase. Whatever method is used, the name or phraseshould derive from traditional Satanism (as explicated in this book) andfor this reason names/demons deriving from other traditions should not beused. 68

I: THE SINISTER CALLINGIntroduction:The aim of the following ceremonial ritual can be either (a) returning to Earth those'negative, chaotic, sinister' forms/energies dark legend knows as 'The Dark Gods';(b)drawing forth from acausal dimensions chaotic energies, directed towards a specificgoal/aim/intent or channelled into a particular individual(s)/group/temporal form. Themain difference between the two is that in (a) the forms/energies are left to dis-perse/create conditions according to their nature. If insufficient preparation/desire ispresent within those performing this Calling, (b) can become (a) - sometimes to thedetriment of those Calling. The rite of the Sinister Calling is a traditional ritual -perhaps the most sinister ritual that exists. The rite assumes willing Sacrifice.Setting:An isolated hill top, sunset, with Saturn rising - or a sinister Temple/cave.Participants:Master of the Temple - purple robesMistress of Earth - purple robesPriestess - naked, upon altarPriest - black robe, tied with white cord/girdleCongregation - black robesGuardian of the Temple - black robes with face maskPreparations:1) Seven days before the rite, the congregation assemble in the dwelling of the Mas- ter or Mistress. Here they stay until the rite is complete. During the seven days they are forbidden to speak, wear only ceremonial robes, will abstain from intoxi- cating drinks and sexual pleasures and eat no meat (this is a 'Black Fast'). During the hours of darkness no lights except black candles are to be lit and at sunset on each day they gather in the Temple to chant the Diabolus nine times. During the seven days no contact with outsiders is allowed, and no music or intrusive sound, save for the Diabolus and the Atazoth chant is to be heard. Both the dwelling and the Temple is to be incensed with Saturnian incense. According to tradition, the robes worn will contain a hood/cowl which is to be worn during the hours of day- light, these hours being taken up with walking within the dwelling grounds (or a suitable, isolated location nearby) for at least three hours together with such diver- sions as the Master or Mistress will arrange. (Note: These diversions - which in recent times include playing the Star Game - are so chosen so as not to destroy the 98

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008 black tranquillity of the fast.) In the past they have included study of alchemical MSS, silent Tarot readings (using sign language/drawn symbols for the reader to express meanings) and practice in performing esoteric chant (Diabolus/Atazoth chant - fourth/fifths and so on), this latter in the Temple if the Calling is to be per- formed there.2) The Temple is prepared seven days before the rite (this applies to the site chosen - which should thereafter be guarded by appropriate energy). This consists of the Master and Mistress incensing the area with Saturnian incense while chanting seven times the 'Sanctus Satanas'. They then unite in sexual union, the Mistress visualising the nexion to the Dark Gods as being gradually opened, though re- maining partly closed. One planetary hour before the Calling begins on the seventh day, the Tem- ple/outdoor area is made ready by an Initiate chosen for this task. A black cloth is laid on the altar and seven black candles placed upon it and lit. A large quartz crystal is placed in the centre of the Temple, on an oak (or wooden) stand. (Note: It enhances the energies if this crystal is shaped as a tetrahedron. Whatever the shape the crystal should be as large as possible.) The Master brings the Sacrificial knife. An image of Baphomet according to sinister tradition (for example, Atu III of the Sinister Tarot) may be present in the Temple but no other artifacts, furnish- ings, signs or symbols. The congregation et al gather outside the Temple, robed as described, and are led into the Temple by the (naked) Priestess at the beginning of the Rite.3) As the Congregation assemble on the seventh day before the Rite (they will have been informed some time before by the Master or Mistress of the date of the Call- ing, its purpose and intent being explained) lots are drawn to decide which man among them will be chosen. The one chosen by the drawing of lots is free to then accept or decline the honour. If this honour is declined, another lot is held, and the one so chosen may also decline. After this a further lot is held, the result of which is binding. The Opfer so chosen by lot is then led by the Guardian(s) to a secure, secluded place and resides there until the Calling begins. Each night and in this place, the Opfer receives the Priestess for the length of one planetary hour, the Priestess being chosen from among the Temple to be at this period capable of conception. If the Master or Mistress so desire, another lady in addition to the Priestess may be chosen and received by the Opfer during the days before the Rite, and lead him to the Temple for the Calling.4) Sinister Chants: 1) Diabolus Dies irae, dies illa Solvet Saeclum in favilla Teste Satan cum sibylla. Quantos tremor est futurus 99

The Black Book of Satan (Three Parts) – Skull Press Edition – Arrangement by Hagur The Sinister Pathway Triangle Order (SPTO) © 2003 - 2008 Quando Vindex est venturus Cuncta stricte discussurus. Dies irae, dies illa! 2) Sanctus Satanas Sanctus Satanas, Sanctus Dominus Diabolus Sabaoth. Satanas - venire! Satanas - venire! Ave, Satanas, ave Satanas. Tui sunt cæli, Tua est terra, Ave Satanas! The RiteThe congregation process into the Temple, led by the Priestess who is assisted ontothe altar by the Mistress. The congregation gather in a semi-circle before the altar, theGuardian(s) holding the Opfer by the entrance. The Mistress greets the Master with akiss, saying: 'To you it is fitting, Master, to speak to our gods for these many. Withyour own eyes see how we seekers of darkness await this calling forth of our gods!'The Mistress gestures with her hands, and the congregation remove their hoods/cowls.She says: 'So shall we rejoicing dance!' The congregation begin to dance counter-sunrise around the altar chanting \"Binan ath ga wath am\".The Master lays the Sacrificial Knife on the womb of the Priestess while the Mistressplaces her hands on the crystal and joins the Master in chanting the Diabolus infourths while visualising the nexion opening. This chant is repeated seven times whilethe congregation continue their dance and chant.After the seventh chant, the Master claps his hands nine times as a signal for the con-gregation to gather round. The Guardian brings the Opfer forward.The Master gives the Opfer a chalice of wine, which he drinks. After this, the Mastersays to him: 'We greet our honoured guest with a kiss'. He kisses the Opfer, followedby the Mistress and the congregation who kiss the Opfer in turn. 100
